Great report Raf. Good to see JP's eyebrows grew back in....he must be staying away from the BBQ.

Yes, I should have just said to connect to one battery and not the two batteries like he will have done with the bowmount.

Careful now...if you run riggers from the deep cycles they'll need to be rendered 12v again by disconnecting them.

My best stab at blackmail was when I was able to secure pics of the biology prof. dressing a sheep in a nightgown.......I got good grades though.

Great report Carole. I haven't managed to hit the water yet.....the 24th I guess. Thanks for posting. When did you become Faux Farm staff. I'm on staff there too...never saw you at the meetings.

Maureen operates a subway for the TTC does that help?

I was fortunate. My steel wheels were getting a little rusty and I talked to a friend who owns AM Distribution. He gave me 3 13" great quality tires mounted on beauty galvanized wheels, wheel locks, ballmount with lock and a 2" ball for $300.

No PFD, no helmet, not overly bright.

HAHAHAHAHAHA You're probably right there, Loic.

Yes, a big thank you indeed and also to others who helped get this situation cleared up.

Standing back and looking at all of this, I can't help but think that the name of the RLTA has been tainted by a few rogue members of the association. I hope that the members in good standing of that association continue to do well in their business endeavours and that people from every area of North America continue to holiday on and around Rice Lake. Let's call this a wrap.

Fenwick made a nice rod 40 years ago.....now, I'm afraid of them. They keep blowing up...shattering.

I've met the enemy....it's me.

So you got your avatar up did you?

And in passing, here's the first muskie rod Spiel ever made for me. Built on a 7'7" Loomis blank. The workmanship is supurb.

Yeah, yeah sure but your next door neighbour is your brother Joe...Daplumma! hahahahaha I love you guys....

I have 4 Spiel rods...best rods I own. Two muskie rods and two walleye rods. I should have another in June. Chris is a top notch dude to deal with too! If someone is not quite sure what they want, he'll walk them through it. So yes....Spiel is the man if you want something special.

I have some of the best drop in on me regularly. Here's Marc Thorpe, Pete Maina, John Gillespie, their cameraman and moi. That day, they were just over for a pop and some fishing advice.

That model has 7' rod storage.

Thanks but I'm about the farthest thing away from being mechanically gifted and the motor is still relatively new so I prefer to stay with the manufacturer's specs for my own peace of mind. Also, the couple of extra bucks isn't going to kill me.

9.9 four stroke, use Mercury 20W40....they recommend that same oil for my 60.

Very nice indeed. Congrats!

Fantastic looking fish there Darren and on behalf of team #4, thanks for the inches!

HAHAHAHAHAHA Unbelievable....
